4-2.Friction
hard

An insect is at the bottom of a hemispherical ditch of radius $1\, m$. It crawls up the ditch but starts slipping after it is at height $h$ from the bottom. If the coefficient of friction between the ground and the insect is $0.75,$ then $h$ is$.......m$
$\left(g=10\, m s^{-2}\right)$

A$0.80$
B$0.60$
C$0.45$
D$0.20$

Solution

For balancing $mg \sin \theta= f$
$mg \sin \theta=\mu mgcos \theta$
$\tan \theta=\mu$
$\tan \theta=\frac{3}{4}$
$h = R – R \cos \theta$
$= R – R \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)=\frac{ R }{5}$
$h =\frac{ R }{5}=0.2 m$
